Singapore Airlines is continuing to make cuts in its network as weak demand continues to impact the airline due to COVID-19.
Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 at Changi Airport -Image, Economy Class and Beyond.
The newest cuts slice a total of 10.3% of available capacity and seats between February/March to the end of May 2020.
